Yes. Looking forward to it. Okay.

Okay. All right. See you later.

Hey, Will.

Hey.

Wait a minute.

Brianna. What?

Didn't we talk about this? Why are you wearing one of Joaquin's shirts?

Uh -uh.

Even my shirts are bigger than that.

I don't see what the big deal is. At least I'm not trying to hide it from

That's the problem.

You're not hiding anything.

You know what? If Sasha was here, she would have my back.

Yeah, and she'd tell you to put a shirt on it.

You know what, guys? I'm going to be in surgery all day today.

And you know what?

We're going to have to find somebody to pick you two up from school.

How about Miss Cora?

He's got parent -teacher conferences all day. What about Miss Edna or the

Colonel? They're out of town.

How about Uncle Brown?

Well, he's Uncle Brown.

Hey, neighbors.

Neighbors?

Tonya, you live downtown.

And how did you just get in the door?

Easy, easy.

I used my keys.

Learned something in jail.

Hey, boy.

Well, good morning to you too, Miss Lady.

I just came here to borrow a little something.

All right, Tonya.

How much do you need?

Come on, Will. I'm not here for your money.

I just came here to borrow a couple of eggs.

And some bacon.

And some hash browns and toast and orange juice. Okay, you want breakfast.

thank you very much for asking. Thank you.

Slow down, Tonya. We don't have time for this.

Hey, maybe she could take care of us until Sasha gets back from the curb.

No.

Uh, Joaquin, the curb? What are you talking about?

Brianna said Sasha was kicked to the curb.

Well, thank you, Jesus. You finally kicked the bougie booty to the curb.

Right. Could you take care of us until she comes back?

That is a good idea, son.

No, it's not. Aren't you on probation?

You don't know what you're talking about because I'm not on probation.

I'm on parole. Get it straight.

Either way, I don't know about this.

Oh, come on, Will. You know what they say at the church.

We're surprised to see you.

You know what? You got that little smart mouth from your daddy.

They say that it's better to give than receive.

And I want to give back so I can receive myself a place to stay that's better

than that shelter.

Mom can pick us up.

You know what?

Tanya, you've been trying to be a better mother. Here's your chance.

Look, I wouldn't be considering this if I wasn't desperate.

Oh, well, you know we can handle that, too. We can work that.

I bet you you'll keep your lips to yourself next time, won't you?

I'll put my lips anywhere I want.

Shut up, Cobra.

Cobra, down 9 -1 -1.

What? We got them 7 -7 -7 -93 -11 -1 -1.

What? What is that?

Cobra, you ain't that deep.

That's the oldie but goodie. And this oldie is stealing all our goodies.

You better be glad I snuck up on you. You probably done stole everything. You

ain't snuck up on nothing, old man. I heard your little loud shirt coming down

the driveway.

kids would be safer running through a crack house with a money suit on. It

help nobody.

Hey, morning, everybody. Wow, something smells good.

Will, be careful. That's crack soup, nephew. Be careful. Back away. It's

It's not.

I taught Tony how to make chicken and dumplings.

Yeah, and I hope it tastes as good as yours, Miss Cora. Here, taste it, Will.

Taste it. You're gonna get addicted.

She making grilled cheese sandwiches on the ironing board in prison.

Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown, hush up. I got your mail for you, too.

Aren't you the happy little home wrecker?

Home maker.

Curry's home wrecker. I know what I'm trying to say. She ain't fooling me. She

probably got this lace with some Amtrax.

Amtrax?

What the what?

What is it? They done sent me a picture ticket.

but that's me.

Uncle Brown, you have on the same outfit you got on right now.

That ain't nothing.

Somebody can be out there and prostitute me.

You know how many people dress like this? Nobody.

Haters. All y 'all just haters.

I just ignored that ticket.

That's because you used to being on the wrong side of the law.

All you have to do is just go to traffic school and then wipe that ticket right

out. Traffic's cool, Ms. Cornel. You're doing too much. What do you mean? No, I

got a cop friend. He'll wipe that ticket out. All you need is a blonde wig, a

bustier, and a can -do attitude.

Settle down, settle down.

Welcome to defensive driving class.

You all have one thing in common.

You're all driving sucks.

Mr. Brown.

You can see me?

Thank you for joining us.

How do you know it was me?

We have a large photo of you downtown at the station.

Most people think that you're a figment of our imagination, like the Easter

Bunny or the Rock Ness Monster or a faithful man. Speaking of Ness, I like

hair.

Darren, what you doing here?

Improper use of hand signals.

Apparently, you can't do this to a cop.

Don't I know you from somewhere?

Uh, that depends.

If he gets me out of his class, then yes, you do.

Girl, how'd you do? Oh, I'm wonderful. How are you?

Can I leave? I got bras older than you. Sit down.

Just trying to take one for the team, but okay.

Thanks.

Good afternoon, Dr. Brown.

Oh, hey.

Why are y 'all treating me like one of y 'all little foster kids?

I see that your shirt's ironed today.

No, Cora's been too busy. No, well, I know you didn't do it.

Nope.

Will, did you hire help?

Thank you.

See you later. Okay. Okay.

This is getting messy.

So I see that you are ironing now.

Oh, well, you know, somebody had to do it.

Because I never saw you as the domestic type. Oh, really?

Oh, my gosh, because I never saw you as the hoeing type.

Nurse's station will call you back.

Well, I certainly hope you're enjoying playing house with my husband.

Sasha, it's not even like that.

All right, Sasha, you know what? Listen, Will is helping me out, and I'm helping

him out. Oh, I'll bet.

I'll bet, too.

Who is this chicken head?

Shawshank. I got acrylics. I ain't afraid to use them.

Nene, stay out of this.

Yeah, Nene, don't make me have to jump across this desk and punch a little mud

hole up in your flat butt. Oh, yeah, well, sorry. Everybody can't be half

Amazon, half donkey.

Hee -haw, hee -haw.

All right, Smurfette Jones, I'm telling you, I'll take that little pressing curl

and I'll fling you all over this hospital.

You don't know who you're dealing with.

How you gonna do all that with my size 8 up in your mouth?

Renee. Hmm?

You got what?

What you gonna do, bougie? You know what?

Okay.

Just call me.

Because I'm a ride -or -die nurse.

She better be glad I'm still on parole.

Well, I'll be back home soon, Tanya.

So don't get too comfortable in my life.

Ooh, you mean the one that you kissed goodbye?

Okay, listen up.

These four chairs represent an automobile.

I need two volunteers, please.

I'll do it. I'll do it. Please.

Please, anybody else.

I'm two people.

Okay, Mr.

Brown. Come on. Okay.

Do not touch anything.

Oh, it'll be just like I don't even have hands.

Girl, I don't know why you don't have a license.

Because you are driving me crazy.

Another boy.

You're up.

Now I know where I know you from.

You took out my baby sister, Deja, and you never called her again.

Deja? Oh.

Oh! Oh!

Oh!

After you dumped her, she cut all her hair off.

She finally started shaving?

Sit down.

All right.

You're driving, Mr. Brown.

Miss Hattie, get in the back seat, please.

Ow! You can't ride with us.

We're going to drop off at the animal shelter.

Hey, can we put the other girl in the car so we can balance out the ugly? Yes.

God, I can't look at her in this mirror like, look at this.

The what?

Start the car, Mr. Brown.

Okay.

It's the starter.

We're only going to the store, Mr. Brown, not the Indy 500.

Okay, okay.

You pull to a stop sign. What happens?

up behind you what do you do

Plato is that dude that kicks it with Mickey and Goofy.

He is not. Plato is a Greek philosopher, sweetheart.

A Greek philosopher?

Yes. Why would a Greek philosopher want to hang out with Mickey and Goofy?

I mean, that doesn't make any sense. What are y 'all teaching these kids?

What are you talking about?

Well, Kim, come on. Let's go upstairs so I can help you with your homework.

Come on, sweetie.

Well, I hope he don't get an F.

What you writing?

The chick in my daggone anger management class tried to steal my sunflower

seeds, and I gotta write a letter to make a man.

We all know how you feel about your sunflower seeds.

Okay.

Wait, so you actually walked away from a fight?

I didn't say all that. I mean, she ran, I tried to catch her.

I gotta get in better shape.

Wow, I hadn't made you laugh in a long time.

Yeah, it's good to see you trying.

Thanks, thanks.

And hey, you better go up there and help your brother with his homework, because

Miss Cora thinks that Plato is some Greek philosopher.

And she's supposed to be a school teacher.

Please.

Wow!

Well, isn't this a role reversal?

Would you like to come into my home?

Before you start, I didn't come here to fight. Good, because I'm already writing

one letter.

Is Will around?

Yes, he is. Would you like for me to get him for you?

Yes.

Willie!

Willie!

Willie, baby!

You think he heard me? The neighbors heard you, Tanya.

What?

What's going on? You have a visitor.

Is that how you guys announce it up in lockdown?

It's a tender moment, but I'm going to go have some drinks with my friends from

AA.

Well, if you need me, call me, Willie.

And can you give the kids a kiss for me, all right?

Bye, cutie patootie booty.

Why couldn't she just use her key?

Why would she have a key?

I mean, like, if you're fishing.

You can stop. No, Will, I didn't come to fish. I came to talk.

Talk about what?

How are the kids?

They're fine.

Yeah, well, Joaquin told me about Rihanna's tiny shirt incident.

Yeah, and it was handled.

I know.

Yeah, it seems like you've been handling everything around here pretty well.

I don't have a choice.

Yes, you do, Will.

But don't you think I have been punished for long enough?

I made a stupid, stupid mistake, and that's all it was.

To me, it was betrayal.

I give you that, Will, but how do we get past this?

Sasha, I needed you.

I needed you, and you weren't there.

You wouldn't let me be there.

Will, from the time you got suspended, you shut me out.

And then when you wanted to talk, you called your mama and your ex -fiance. I

didn't call my mother. You talk to everybody but me.

I was there the whole time, Will, but you didn't see me.

So you got with Troy.

For the last time, I was simply talking to that man, and he got the wrong idea.

Yeah, whatever.

Whose fault was that?

Look, it's getting late.

You want to see the kids or what?

Go to hell, Will.

Terry, what's the answer to number one? Give me that.

See? See, okay.

What's the answer to number two?

Number two, I got to go, number two.

Hey, it's an apple.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

Who's talking?

You're talking.

What is this?

It's paper.

These are my answers.

Shut up. Let me see number one.

When does number... Where did this come from? From the paper factory. They cut

down trees.

Mr. Brown.

Derek threw the paper at me and I said, Derek, don't take it. You threw that

paper. But, but. Out of my class.

What? Now. I can't believe this. Out of my class. I'm appalled with you. You are

ashamed.

You are ashamed of yourself.

These kids nowadays are still.

Mr. Brown, why was he sending you the answers?

Because he's jealous of me.

I think it's that dumb. dark -skinned, light -skinned thing. He's just jealous.

Mr. Brown, I don't know what I'm gonna do with you. I really don't.

I can think of something to do with you.

Indeed.

I still can't believe you sold me out in driver's class like that.

Well, you don't get to be my age without having a few tricks up your sleeve,

young whippersnapper.

Well, how'd you pass the test?

was easy i made a deal with the instructor a deal yeah a deal i told her

gave me a passing grade i'd give her a little something on the side what'd you

have to give her you get the door me
